Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

Breast augmentation- Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enlarge the breast.

In breast augmentation surgery, a breast implant is placed underneath the mammary tissue or under the muscles of the rib cage to achieve the desired size of the breast.

If there are problems with the appearance of the breast along with the size, a mastopexy (breast lift) and other reconstructive operations can be done in the same session.

If you want to have your breast(s) augmented, please send us a message and we will connect you to the best plastic surgeons in Turkey for this procedure.

Why is the breast augmentation procedure done?
Women may prefer breast implants to make their breasts appear larger and better toned.
On the other hand, they may need breast augmentation for the reconstruction of the breast (the combination of reconstructive and cosmetic indications), if one or both breast is removed due to breast cancer

Therefore, breast augmentation is performed for the following conditions;

- Woman feels that the breast is too small
- Asymmetry of breasts
- Removal of one or both breasts, most probably due to cancer
- Changes in size, tone or shape of the breast as a result of physiological processes such as aging, weight loss, and childbearing
- Results
- Breast augmentation aims that breast(s) appear larger, more toned, but also natural.
- If you clearly inform your plastic surgeon about your expectations before undergoing a breast augmentation, your satisfaction with outcomes will be maximized and the risk of implant removal or revision surgery will be minimized.
- However, you should always remember the following details about breast augmentation surgery:
- Breast augmentation does not eliminate the effects of the aging on the breast(s).
- After breast augmentation, the breasts may sag due to aging or weight gain and loss.
- Breast implants may wear and perforate over time or it may be necessary to change implants due to any other reason.
- If you plan pregnancy after breast augmentation, breastfeeding can be more difficult than usual.
- If you are not satisfied with the results and if you want the removal of the implants, you may need additional surgery(ies).
- You may face difficulties in mammography that is recommended for all women at a certain range of age, or you may even need extra techniques and examinations.

Breast Lift - Mastopexy

- Overview
- Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is an operation to correct the appearance of breast(s) that sag due to loss of elasticity secondary to many factors, including but not limited to aging, hormonal factors, pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics and weight gain and loss.
- In order to lift the breast, the excess skin is removed and the ligaments that suspend the breast are repaired. The breast and the surrounding supportive tissues are reshaped, volume of the breast is enhanced and the breast is lifted, resulting in natural conic form.
- If you feel that your breast(s) sag or if your nipple is located below the inframammary fold or points downward, you may consider a breast lift.
- If you consider a breast lift, please consult our plastic surgeons for techniques of breast lift, expectations, potential risks and results.

Why is breast lift procedure done?
Childbearing, breastfeeding, genetic features, weight gain and loss as well as aging causes loss of elasticity and volume in breast(s). When ligaments that support breast weaken and they are defeated by the gravity force, sagging of breasts is inevitable.

For some patients, sagging is secondary to the reduction of breast tissue due to significant weight loss followed by weight gain.
Breast lift is performed to eliminate these cosmetic problems.

Therefore, breast lift offers a solution for following conditions;

- Sagging breasts accompanied by loss of elasticity and volume
- Nipples located below the inframammary fold or pointing downwards secondary changes in breast tissue
- Asymmetry of breasts

Breast lift is planned according to the degree of sagging. Therefore, breast lift alone can eliminate mild sagging, but size of breast may get smaller secondary to breast lift, if sagging is severe and volume of breast tissue is insufficient. For this reason, it may be necessary to combine breast lift with breast augmentation. Again, breast life surgery causes reduction of breast in women with naturally large breasts.

Abdominoplasty – Tummy Tuck
Overview

Abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to have abdomen look better.
Sequential weight gain and loss and genetic features lead to various deformities in the abdominal region. Apart from these, especially pregnancy can also cause a deformity due to relaxation of abdominal muscles and loss of skin tone.
If your abdominal skin has lost its flexibility and sags, abdominoplasty is performed to remove excess skin and fats.
Abdominoplasty is the most popular surgical procedure in body shaping and it is performed to correct and eliminate sagging abdominal skin, stretch marks, and deformities. With this surgery, the loose and sagging skin of the lower abdomen is removed and the abdominal muscles are concomitantly stretched.

Liposuction- Liposuction is an act of esthetic surgery that can help sculpt patient’s body by eliminating non desirable fat area including abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, arms, chin and neck. Today several new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted liposuction supported by VASER technology which eliminates all complications originating from heat, are helping our medical team to get more precise and successful results. There is also a method called high definition liposuction to help men get their six-pack.

Butt Lift- Butt lifting can be achieved in Turkey by either fat transfer to buttocks, buttocks prothesis and synthetic filler.

A.Fat transfer to buttocks also called fat grafting involves harvesting fat by using liposuction from different parts of the body. These fat is purified and then injected into the buttocks or any treatment area. This fat transfer can also help get rid of unwanted fat. This method is one of the safest and risk-free method in order to have perfect buttocks.

B.Buttocks prothesis-This is process of putting gluteal implants into the buttocks. There are different texture and form and can be decided by the patient which form they most prefer. This method of butt lifting is more expensive and long lasting as compared to fat transfer.

C.Synthetic filler-This is an expensive surgery and needs to be renewed since the filler can be dissolved by time. This procedure occurs under general anesthesia during which the patient must lie down on the belly position until she is fully recovered.

Rhinoplasty-this is a procedure performed to change the shape of the nose and/or improve its functions. This is to correct deformities of the nose caused by trauma, or birth defects, which makes it difficult to breathe due to medical reasons. Sometimes, this is done to change the appreance of the nose for cosmetic reasons.
